Louise Chords

     C                            D7
They all said Louise was not half bad,
       F              G7               C
It was written on the walls and window shades,
                             D7
And how she'd act the little girl,
  F              G7                     C
A deceiver don't believe her that's her trade.
F           G7     C
Sometimes a bottle perfume,
F          G7         C
Flowers or maybe some lace,
F           G7              Am
Men brought Louise ten-cent trinkets,
        D7                   G
Their intentions were easily traced.
C                                D7
And everybody knew sometimes she cried,
F              G7                    C
Ah, women like Louise, well they get by.

Everybody thought it kind of sad,
          F        G7         C
when they found Louise in her room,
                                    D7
They'd all put her down below their kind,
           F              G7             C
Still some cried when she died that afternoon.
F           G7          C
Louise rode home on the mail train, 
F               G7                 C
Some where down South I heard them say, 
F          G7       Am
Too bad it ended so ugly,
    D7                     G
Too bad she had to go this way.
C                              D7
Ah, the wind is blowing colder now, 
     F     G7           C
Good night Louise, good night.
